I absolutely loved this book. The characters really come to life and through Asta’s eyes we see that nothing is certain and judgements cannot always be made. Sally Magnusson is a most accomplished writer. She writes beautifully - descriptions of the seasons and the geography really come to life. The story was absolutely gripping. If you can give 100 out of 10 for a book, this book deserves it.

I never finished this one and that is very very rare for me. it rambled and I never looked forward to picking it up so in the end just gave it away. Interestingly, On Green Dolphin Street drove me to tears and is one of the best books I have ever read. Of course, only my opinion!
